We exclusively revealed the limited edition Star Wars Xbox 360 with white Kinect two weeks ago, and now Microsoft has made the bundle official.
The white R2-D2 Xbox 360 S, C-3PO-inspired control pad and white Kinect sensor will launch with Kinect Star Wars later this year, with exclusive downloadable content in the console box too.
Microsoft and LucasArts also showed off the new podracing mode, screenshots of which you can see in our gallery below.
No pricing for this package yet, but considering the £299.99/$399.99 RRP for a 250GB with Kinect we'd expect this to land just north of that mark.
Xbox and LucasArts Reveal Limited Edition Star Wars Console and Unveil Brand New Podracing Mode for Kinect Star Wars
LONDON — 21 June, 2011 — Today, during a panel presentation at the 41st annual Comic-Con International, Xbox and LucasArts unveiled the first custom Xbox 360 console with Kinect featuring a limited edition Star Wars theme inspired by the beloved duo, R2-D2 and C-3PO, as well as the brand-new Podracing mode featured in the upcoming title Kinect Star Wars.
Kinect Star Wars brings the Star Wars universe to life like never before. Harnessing the controller-free power of Kinect for Xbox 360, Kinect Star Wars allows fans to physically experience training as a Jedi, using the Force and battling with a Lightsaber. Using full body motions, players can live out the ultimate Star Wars fantasy, no controller required.
Podracing Mode
Previously shown content for the title includes the Jedi mode unveiled at E3; complete with Lightsaber combat and Force movement, the mode optimises the ideal mix of gameplay feel and heroic animation through epic Jedi duels with an array of fan favourites from the Star Wars universe. The Kinect Star Wars’ Podracing game mode allows fans a chance to compete alongside the surviving racers of the Boonta Eve in recognisable pods and other unlockable vehicles native to the Star Wars universe.

Looks pretty but as it's a Kinect game designed to use our hands maybe they should of supplied gold gloves instead or a gold controller.
Or even better, a full C-3PO outfit!
